Iran declines Oman’s Strait plan
Iran rejected a Omani proposal for joint management of the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that there is no chance of its success. An Iranian official stated that the United States and Saudi Arabia are trying to pressure Oman to proceed with unrealistic plans, while Iran believes it alone has the right to determine the arrangements for managing the strait in accordance with its share, and refuses to accept any role for other parties. Iran suggested a temporary measure of one-way navigation through Iranian waters, while navigation systems were shut down due to mine risks, focusing instead on controlling the entire route across the strait. The issue is part of ongoing, faltering efforts to establish new management for this vital waterway, amidst Washington and shipping companies' rejection of Iranian demands to impose no fees on passing through the strait.
